About Me

My photo
I have been drawing all my life and have painted in watercolor, acrylic and mixed media for almost 40 years. I do commission work (painting, drawing, graphic design/logos), a few art festivals, and give private lessons to children in watercolor, drawing and mixed media. I enjoy spending time with my grandchildren, especially teaching/encouraging them in some of my hobbies/interests so they may also express their own creativity as they go through life. I also crochet, embroider, cross stitch, sew, quilt, garden, cook, read and play with my dogs and horses. My husband and I attend many classic car events throughout the year together where we show his 1961 Corvette.

The "LOST" painting of Bernie


This is a commissioned painting I finished recently. It was to be the buyer's gift to her husband for Father's Day! I mailed the painting in plenty of time for it's arrival before Father's Day....but the US Postal Service had other plans! I filed the insurance claim on the 11th of July after waiting 26 days for the painting to arrive to my customer and repainted the piece to be mailed out later that week. On July 12th I received a call from the buyer stating the painting just arrived unharmed! So, after 27 days of being LOST in the mail, it finally made it and now I have only to cancel the insurance claim. I'm thinking from now on I will be using UPS or FedX! Sorry it took so long to arrive folks, but I hope you enjoy your painting of Bernie!
